Purpose Driven Innovation at the Siemens Intrapreneurs Bootcamp
by Dr. Bettina Maisch, Senior Key Expert @ Siemens
Corporate innovation needs entrepreneurial spirit in order to be sustainably successful. Bringing ideas to life is a marathon not a sprint – even in our agile work environment. Corporate entrepreneurs needs a strong inner motivation in order to stay engaged, facing the odds and not giving up. The Siemens Intrapreneurs Bootcamp is focusing providing a platform where corporate entrepreneurs focusing on topics what matters to themselves and connect these to what matters to Siemens and its customers.
Conversational intelligence builds on the advancements in artificial intelligence and cognitive computing to help organisations to lower costs, lower risk, and increase value. This is achieved through a variety of outcomes, such as enhancing engagement through providing personalized understanding, scaling and elevating human expertise, infusing products and services with contextually aware knowledge, enabling automated, intelligent business process and powering the ability for disruptive data discovery and exploration that have otherwise eluded organisations for decades.
Conversations play an important role in building these relationships, but they are increasingly taking on digital forms, which are very hard to track. These conversations hold valuable information, but how can companies extract actionable insights? What role does Conversational Intelligence play?
Listen to an interview that Founder & CEO Neil Movold did with B2M's Simon Fawkes on the subject of Conversational Intelligence and the answers to these questions.

Reimagine your enterprise: Make Human Centered Design the Heart of Your Digit...Kenneth Kwan
Companies in every industry are trying to find new sources of value
through digital technology. But most of their efforts have not translated
into enough market impact and growth. They need something bolder
and more disruptive, but still very simple. They need reimagination.
Reimagination means putting the user at the center of everything
your company does — strategy, product development, operations,
marketing, sales, and customer service. It means using the full power
of digital media and technology to build empathy with that user, and
weaving that relationship into the fabric of your company. This practice
is known as “human centered design” (HCD): the reshaping of an entire
enterprise and its capabilities system around the customer or user
experience.
HCD represents a new way of life for business. It evokes many of the
attributes of a startup — creativity, speed, bias for action, flexibility
with risk, and radical collaboration. To achieve this entrepreneurial
vigor in your company, you may have to consciously break down long
established internal barriers. You must embrace five basic principles:
Embed human centered design in everything you do, build brand value
holistically, design for three years out (but build for today), stand up
new structures and teams, and nurture your existing digital culture.
Strategizing in an increasingly complex digital marketing worldThorsten Sachtje

Also the strategy of Amazon and its implications for sales and marketing strategies of brands is being examined. In addition, first ideas for planing a route through the digital marketing jungle are provided.
Thorsten Sachtje (Senior Consultant Digital Strategy @ Artefact Germany) held this presentation at Marketing Club Ruhr to a group of 50 marketing decision makers on February 26nd 2019.

ADTELLIGENCE White Paper: Monetizationof strategies and business models for S...Michael Altendorf
Within the past two years, the amount of social networks and online communities have grown faster than anything else on the Internet and the number of people associated with those networks continue to dominate the Internet space. Unfortunately, almost all social networks today continue to endure very high costs with very low monetization rates. Monetization occurs directly (through monthly subscribers, “Freemium”, or virtual-goods models) or indirectly. Mainly through advertising based business models and first attempts to include e-commerce. Only vendors in Asia and some western platforms started to implement a virtual economy with goods and currency.
Most Social networks are today unsuccessful in their advertising strategy because they target an enormously large mass of heterogeneous users. First-generation targeting models (including semantic, contextual or behavioral targeting) don’t help either because these models are not tailored to the needs of social networks.
Social Profile Targeting leveraging the (demographic, interests and geographic user information), on the other hand, is built around the information within user profiles, users’ connections to other users, and the data entered by users themselves – to provide more exact data to reach target audiences.
ADTELLIGENCE offers exactly this kind of targeting technology, which provides an interface between individual user profiles and classic target-group descriptions. Through a simple user interface based on newest Web 2.0 technology, advertisers can easily define their target audiences / groups and in real-time, get reports on the success of their campaign and target delineation. ADTELLIGENCE’s targeting technology not only helps increase advertising revenue for social networks, but can also be used to implement other effective revenue channels like ecommerce, gaming monetization or marketing intelligence, social media monitoring and web analytics.
There is not just one perfect, “universal” business model for social networks, but nevertheless, the best business model will always be a mix of different approaches that can continuously be developed and combined. The users will decided which model they like. Ask them, they will tell you what they want, to deliver user generated content

when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.
Here is the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor
@Pi_vendor_247
how to sell pi coins in all Africa Countries.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, usdt , Ethereum and other currencies And this is done easily with the help from a pi merchant.
What is a pi merchant ?
Since pi is not launched yet in any exchange. The only way you can sell right now is through merchants.
A verified Pi merchant is someone who buys pi network coins from miners and resell them to investors looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before mainnet launch in 2026.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.

This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

14. The Team
How to built a great team for the start?
• Motivation is key!
• Experience is something but not much
• You need some experience in several disciplines
but no senior team
• Combination of experience and fresh ideas is best
• Minimum 2 people for the start, 3-4 are better

15. The CV problem
When others will think that you will become a real entrepreneur
80% of the success is determined by the Team
Your Qualification: 1,0 in Informatics + 1,0 MBA + 2 own (sold) companies + 5 years work experience
would be “good”
BA in XYZ + an internship at McKinsey is not enough to get VC
Quote from former CFO SAP: “The guys who sold
nothing switched to marketing”
Show that you are able to build the product and the company
Work on your Idea:
Identify markets
Calculate Costs and Revenues
Develop a Prototype
Talk to experts

17. Some FAQ for the (Business) Plan
Yes, you will write it for yourself, but the VC wants to see the potential (100 Mio in 5 Years is the
key, not in one VC round, you need at least 3-5) – start small (50K rev e.g. for the first year and
show how to grow to 100M) think big
No, salary of more than 50.000€ per Year is not ok for the start when your just graduated
No, with 3 People you won't reach 5% Market share - please calculate bottom-up
No, you don't have to mention Gartner and IDC, but 1 Big Player would be good
No, you can't do it without a business plan (…but with a product which has 10.000 users +)
No, it should not be longer than 10-25 Pages (10/ 20/30 rule) – no McKinsey 80 page plan with 40
page competitive feature analysis – you can do the longer analysis for you but not for the VC –
VC‟s do not have time to read more than 10 pages
As short as possible, not longer than necessary
The core problem is to write a short plan, not long one!

Some questions to answer:
• Why should somebody buy your
product?
• What needs to you address?
• What are the key USP‘s for your target
customer?
• Why are you better?
• Is there a market?
• If there is no competition there is no
market! That is not an USP – nobody
will buy it!

WEB 2.0 TOOLBOX Todays Online Marketing Technologies for the Web 2.0 are
more Creative
Viral Marketing The new Tools are used to make all kinds of Advertising:
PR News, Blogs or Twitter
Early Adopter Marketing
An interesting and interactive way of Advertising is the viral
Buzz & Guerilla Marketing marketing (Word of Mouth Marketing)
Blogging & Twittering The Problem of these creative Advertising:
Brand Page
You can't predict the effect
Facebook Fan Pages
Online Events / Webinar
Viral Campaigns are unique - you can't replicate them
Youtube Video PR
Company Radio & TV

order entry and cash flow
• This can become your core
problem – you need a good
banker!

bank can be used for this but
not unlimited

guy

51. The SMT – Building a Senior Management Team
Like in a rock band: All instruments have to be played and not everybody can play everything
Very important to find 5 key people in the company
In the beginning you need 2: one to sell, one to build
Later you need: CEO, VP Sales, COO, CFO, CTO/visionary

many other which are ready to buy

private equity first

There is no work life balance – as there is no
difference

63. What kind of Questions do the Investors ask?
Product - What is the Product Roadmap? What are you developing next, how long will it take, and who are your hires to
develop it? How did you make the decisions regarding the Direction the Product is right now? We want to understand your
Decision making Process and your vision of the company. This last point is extremly important.
Market - How big is the market and how will it grow? What are the trends in the market that make now the right time for your
product? If you're in a big enough market, you can afford to make some mistakes (which as startups you will always do!). Who
are your first customers? Are they referenceable? What does your pipeline look like?
Competition - Who are the competitors? What is your competitive advantage and is it sustainable? Hint: IP patents are not
enough.
Team - What are your backgrounds, where did you meet, and why are you the right team to execute on this plan? Who does
what, and who else do you need to hire to build out the right team? Be lean with your costs. No VC likes to see a company that
is spending extraneous money.
Scalability - What are the barriers to growth? There will always be some; be aware of what they are. This could be from the
business model side or the technical product side. Within this there is also the issue of customer acquisition strategy and cost.
Finally, although we do not ask the founder this question, we ask ourselves: In what ways do WE as the VC investor
provide value to this particular entrepreneur/team/startup?
